Is this pop culture assertion true about love and relationships? If it is true - is it healthy?
I met a woman online and we really hit if off. She was really into me like no woman before - really. And we really clicked. However, when I told her about my WHOLE personal situation and the fact that I have OCD and take several medications - she couldn't handle it. SO I had to break it off. Pop culture says "Only love can break a heart; Only love can mend it again" "Help me Rhonda, Get her outta my heart" etc. SO the thing is this. Is there any truth to to those ideas and if they do happen to be true - is that healthy psychologically, biologically, spiritually speaking to go right from one heartache into another relationship purely to rid youself of the heartache? Please give me your ideas.

Honestly, this is the approach the world wants us take; go from one relationship to the next, expecting things and people to heal and mend our broken hearts. When our hearts are broken, man's(human) love is like a band-aid, temporarily hiding(getting the focus off) the pain until you get what you think is true healing. This temporary healing lasts for a while, but constantly needs repeating. True healing does not require repetition. The end result of this person is worse than when they started; "It's like their heart's still beating, but they feel nothing." All these relationships, yet they still find themselves back to square one.
While it is accurate to say, love is the key to mending brokenness. Everyone must realize, there is one kind of love that brings true healing, which isn't temporary nor run the risk of making you worse. It is an agape love or God's love. You can attempt to use generic brands of this love, but nothing compares. Let's not be cheap people- "there's nothing like the real thing."

A rebound can help, but it's not necessarily going to be a fulfilling relationship. Then again, that's how my best friend met her husband.

It's not healthy or good. Pop culture is just "pop", no substance but big hype. Get your own ideas.
